Now Melbourne is the second biggest city in Australia and the Capital of the State of Victoria. Since I don't like speaking ill of the dead and I believe it best not to say anything if everything is derogatory, I should end this review right here. Now...
Pros: Very handsome club with stately public rooms, excellent dining, polished service Cons: Small, private, hard to get into, no athletic facilities
While visiting Melbourne last year with my father, we were fortunate to be allowed to put up at the lovely old Melbourne Club on Collins Street, just around the corner from the Windsor Hotel where we had planned to stay. As soon as I...
Pros: The Most Liveable City on Earth! Cons: It's an awful long way away from practically everywhere else!
I suppose I should probably begin by declaring my unquestionable bias on this subject… Melbourne is my home town, and although I’ve lived in a lot of other places around the world, I’ve probably spent the majority of my life there. It often strikes me ...
Pros: A vibrant city with plenty of wonderful attractions, friendly people and spectacular surroundings. Cons: None
Pronounced Mel'bun by the locals, this amazingly multi-cultural city with over 3 million residents should definitely be on you itinerary when visiting Australia. Covering over 92,000 sq.miles, Melbourne is the second largest city 'down under', with a...
Pros: Good public transport system and modern infrastructure. Cons: There is nothing really standout about the city. The lack of major sightseeing is noticeable.
Melbourne shouts pretty loud. Over here in Europe we can hear the claim of "most liveable city in the world", "sporting capital of the world.." or simply "greatest city in the world..". These are high claims especially set against Europes great old ...
Melbourne, in the state of Victoria, is Australia's second city and is home to over 3.5 million people. It has a concentrated city centre with a clutch of gleaming sky scrapers but is resolutely green in its approach to the environment. As well as a...
Pros: The best shopping and eating in Australia. Cons: Federation Square.
Let me say from the outset how much I adore Melbourne. I'm probably a bit biased, not having been to Sydney since I was 5, but for some reason Melbourne has always seen the better one of the two. My most recent jaunt was with my best friend for a...
Pros: Very safe at night and there's lots to see and do. Great shopping available. Cons: Very bad weather. Looks too urbanized in some parts.
I went to Melbourne for a week as part of my volleyball team. The National Schools Cup was an annual event that was being held in the Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Center in Albert Park. It is a sporting event that this year attracted more than 3000...
Pros: cosmopolitan; great dining, arts and sports scene; prettiest city in Oz Cons: avoid Dandenong, Springvale and Footscray areas at night
Well this is about my third review of Melbourne and Surrounds and this is about the last I can do, so it is about time I found a new topic. However, since I have this opportunity and I am in an ideal position to talk about the relatives merits of the...
Pros: A true example of Aussie culture and tradition. Anyone can win. Wonderful horses. Beautiful race course. Unforgettable experience. Cons: You might lose a few bucks if your horse loses

What are you wanting from travel?
Who should inform you of the places, city's?
I have been travelling for the past year around Europe and I would have given anything to be able to put The Lonely Planet book away and have someone...
Pros: Fun times, great racing Cons: you will probably lose your cash!
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions
A horse race. Can a race that lasts all of three minutes, be THAT important to a nation? Well, to Australian's, yes. The MELBOURNE CUP is Australia's richest horse race, nearly three...
All too often when people think of Australia they immediately think of Sydney with its Harbour Bridge and the Olympics, or Brisbane for its wonderful surf and the Great Barrier Reef, but the real jewel in the Australian crown is Melbourne. I have had...
Pros: cute towns, antique shops, fresh air, forest walks, wildlife Cons: lots of young spitting teens
Mt Dandenong and the surrounding areas are most vibrant on the weekends when people cruise up into the forest longing for some fresh air and relaxation after a week in the city. Many flock to the Mount Dandenong Observatory for a view of Melbourne City....
